--- Comment #18 from Addison Phillips <addison@lab126.com> ---
I was actioned by the I18N WG [1] with replying to this bug and saying: we
think that allowing the root element's directionality to be UA specific is a
very Bad Idea. This would cause Web pages to display differently depending on
UA or on the UA's current runtime locale, particularly the (more common)
left-to-right pages that do no declare directionality anywhere. Having a
default direction is a much better user experience and authors have a
well-documented feature for right-to-left content.
